Fall break

We’ve stayed at the Whaler multiple times and will probably again in the future. The condo was spacious and clean and met all of our expectations. I would stay here again.

Nice place

It was a nice place. The pool was green and the air conditioner could not seem to keep up. We enjoyed the stay. I just wish the pool would have been better.

Family Spring Break

The view couldn't be any better! There were 7 of us and it was a little tight for that many. We were on 7th floor and the elevator quit working.floor

Darlene, thank you for taking time to leave feedback of your stay. We agree-those views are fantastic! We're sorry to hear the building had an elevator issue during your stay and hope it was remedied quickly.

DO NOT STAY AT THE WHALER! Unless you enjoy using the stairs. Elevator didn’t work. We unfortunately were on the top floor. We refused to carry all our stuff down 7 flights of stairs. Supposedly, they’re sending a couple people to help us. Other than the sliding glass door being extremely difficult to open and shut, the rest of the condo wasn’t too bad. It’s older, but was clean on arrival. Small pool. Great water view. Small bathrooms. Communications about the elevator were terrible. Beach Getaways will not get any more of my business.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to share your candid feedback. As you mentioned, The Whaler is a smaller, lower-density property, which makes it a favorite among couples, small families, and groups of friends looking for a quieter, less crowded beach and pool experience. We’re sorry an unexpected elevator issue created such a frustrating end to your visit. The elevator had been operating throughout your stay but stopped working the day before your departure. Although the building and its facilities are managed by the HOA, our team remained in contact with them as they worked to secure a technician, diagnose the issue, and obtain the needed replacement parts. We also responded promptly to your messages, shared the information available to us, and arranged for team members to assist with your belongings. We’re happy to share that The Whaler is scheduled to receive a full refresh this winter, including a brand-new elevator. We would sincerely welcome you back to enjoy a fresh experience at this much-loved property—with the new elevator ready to do the heavy lifting.

Great View

From the Seventh floor the view of the beach and Gulf Coast was fantastic. This Unit was well maintained and clean. The only improvement that could be made would be that the balcony sliding door was not easy to open as it seemed to stick (probably more of an issue for me as a 70 person than the others in our family). The beach is right outside the property and an easy walk to the water. The pool is well maintained. This is a great place for a restful vacation.

Sarah, we're sorry to receive 3 lonely stars on your review. We looked over your stay and we don't see where you reached out with any issues. We hope you enjoyed your time at the beach and if there is anything we could have done to earn a 5 star review, we'd love to hear from you. We invite you back for another shot at a perfect beach getaway.
